Early detection helps keep treatment simpler and less expensive. Preventing conditions in the first place is even better. 👍🏼

Learn practical ways to reduce healthcare costs through preventive screenings, insurance strategies, and public health access.

Famous last words: "akala ko malinis kasi estudyante".
Sexually transmitted infections do not have a face, age, or status.

So while i was preparing a lecture, I reviewed recent HIV data, and even I was surprised by what I found.... a 57% increase from 2024 to 2025 in just the first quarter.

Credit to our DOH surveillance team for making this information available. This growing concern deserves greater attention. HIV has no face, no age, and often no obvious early signs. It spreads silently, largely due to unsafe intimate practices.

Ang prostate cancer ay maaaring walang sintomas sa umpisa hanggang sa kumalat na ito sa buto (metastasis), na nagdudulot ng pananakit sa likod o balakang.

✔️ Bantayan:
• Tuloy-tuloy na bone pain
• Panghihina / madaling mapagod
• Hirap kumilos

💡 Kahit advanced na, may mga gamutan para mapahaba at mapabuti ang buhay.

Health reminder: Sa mga lalaki 45 pataas, magpa-check taun-taon para sa prostate cancer. Minsan, elevated PSA lang ang unang indikasyon nito.

Early detection saves lives.

Artificial intelligence in urology is 🔥.

Innovation never stops. Hopefully one day, while you’re taking a leak at the mall, the urinal will give you all the information you need, just like in the movie The Island. 😉

Grateful and honored to represent PUA 🇵🇭 at the EAU 26 Congress, sharing our experience in distal ureteral reconstruction. Always great to reconnect with friends and colleagues who share the same passion for advancing our field.😁

Congratulations to East Avenue Medical Center for becoming the first program in the 🇵🇭 accredited by GURS and one of only 11 centers outside the USA. Starting in 2027, we will participate in the AUA fellowship match for aspiring fellows. This milestone would not have been possible without the vision and leadership of our Program Director, Dr. Toto Abalajon and Chairman, Dr. Lantin. 👏🏻🫡

🚩 Red Flag: Blood in Urine (Painless hematuria)

Seeing blood in your urine even without pain (Painless Gross Hematuria) is a serious warning sign. Don't wait for it to happen again.

Who is at risk?
🚬 Smokers / Mga naninigarilyo
🎂 Age 50+ / Edad 50 pataas
🛠️ Chemical Exposure / Exposure sa kemikal (dyes, rubber)
🚻 Men / Mas karaniwan sa mga lalaki

Blood in the urine is never normal. Early evaluation is important, especially for detecting bladder cancer early.

Prostate specimen after laser enucleation. Due to the heavy stone burden and a morcellator malfunction, we had to extract everything the traditional way.
